The AFL remains steadfast that the Tasmania expansion and the controversial Hobart stadium project remain on track.
The 18 club presidents were briefed in Melbourne on Tuesday, amid renewed speculation in particular about the cost of the stadium.
AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon said the two tenderers for the stadium construction were working with the state government.
Dillon described the meeting as "collegiate". Club bosses agreed, with Sydney chairman Andrew Pridham calling it "line and length".
But Pridham remains concerned about the overall cost of the Tasmania Devils joining the AFL, having speculated in an April media interview that the total cost could blow out to more than $3 billion.
Tasmania are scheduled to join the AFL in 2028, with the new venue a condition of their entry. The stadium is due to be built by late 2030, but vehement local opposition has arisen surrounding its construction and costs.
